Philadelphia Eagles P Mark Mariscal had two good punts and four bad punts in the Monday, Aug. 15, preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to Eagles special teams coach John Harbaugh. "Mark's still a young guy, but he needs to come out and transfer the great practice performance into the game performance."

Philadelphia Eagles special teams coach John Harbaugh said that P Dirk Johnson should be healthy before the season starts, but that the team does have options. "We have (P) Mark Mariscal," Harbaugh said. "We will see how he comes along. There are a lot of punters out there, so if we have to do something we will, but I'm thinking right now that there is a good chance that (Johnson) will be there and I am kind of approaching it that way."

Dave Spadaro, of PhiladelphiaEagles.com, reports Philadelphia Eagles P Mark Mariscal will fill in at training camp for injured P Dirk Johnson. The Eagles will probably add another punter too. Mariscal has an opening to get a lot of reps, a lot of preseason kicks and impress the right people for a job somewhere in the NFL.

Philadelphia Eagles P Mark Mariscal has been punting the ball very well in minicamps, according to special teams coach John Harbaugh. "He has worked out some technique things, so he is banging the ball."
